= OpenVPN Hackathon 2013 = == who == This is organized by Gert Döring (cron2) and sponsored by Spacenet AG (http://www.space.net/). We have space for about 10 people in the conference room I have booked so far, so I'd limit this to "active developers that are also regularily contributing to #openvpn-devel or the mailing list". If there is overwhelming interest, I can get a larger room, but then the address listed below would change (still in Munich, but not as centrally located). == who is coming? == ||= Name =||= Topics =||= Arrival =||= Departure =|| || Gert Döring || no particular topics || Fri morning-ish || Sun, late night || || Heiko Hund || OpenVPN Windows Interactive Service[[BR]]General OpenVPN for Windows architecture || Fri. ~15h || Sun. ~18h || || David Sommerseth || Maintainer [[BR]] Plug-in API [[BR]] GUI on Linux || Fri, 15-ish || Sun afternoon/evening || || Arne Schwabe || OpenVPN Dual Stack [[BR]] OpenVPN for Android || Fri noo-ish || Monday || || Steffan Karger || PolarSSL 1.3, elliptic curve crypto || Friday noon-ish || Sunday afternoon || || Adriaan de Jong || tbd, probably some PolarSSL/Elliptic curve work, open crypto trac tickets || Friday || Sunday || || Samuli Seppänen || Ticket review, CLA, OpenVPN 2.4/3.0, NSIS ||Friday 11:00||Sunday 18:20|| || James Yonan || OpenVPN 2.4/3.0 ||Thursday morning ||Monday morning || == where? == We'll meet in one of the office locations of Spacenet. The address is: {{{ SpaceNet AG Landsberger Strasse 155 80687 München (Munich) Germany }}} see [https://maps.google.de/maps?q=Landsberger+Stra%C3%9Fe+155,+M%C3%BCnchen&hl=de&ie=UTF8&ll=48.139892,11.526031&spn=0.002957,0.003358&sll=48.917413,11.407993&sspn=4.216739,6.877441&oq=landsb&hnear=Landsberger+Stra%C3%9Fe+155,+Laim+80687+M%C3%BCnchen&t=h&z=18 google maps]. The entrance is in the upper left corner on the inside of the "#" formed building. Inside the "#", there are 4 entries in each of the corners, marked as "Haus 1" to "Haus 4". Take the entry "Haus 4". There is a reception for Cable&Wireless and SpaceNet there. Tell the security guy that you want to visit SpaceNet, and he'll call me or one of my colleagues and we'll pick you up (SpaceNet is on the 1st floor of Haus 4). The guard will require some sort of deposit - ID card, driver license, etc - to ensure people properly check out at leaving. This location is easy to reach by car or by public transport (Tram from central station). Specifically: * if you arrive by plane, take S-Bahn S1 or S8 (it's a circle, S1 goes left, S8 goes right) and exit after about 45 minutes at "Hirschgarten" or "Donnersbergerbrücke". About 10 minutes walk from there, or take the Tram 18/19 for the remainder. * if you end up near the central station (either arriving by train, or with the S-Bahn), exit the central station on the south side, take Tram 18 or 19 towards Willibaldplatz / Gondrellplatz (westwards), and exit at "Lokschuppen". Landsberger Strasse is the street the Tram travels, 155 is across the street next to the "Bauhaus" market * if you come by car, parking in the vicinity is a bit problematic. You can park in the "Bauhaus" garage but that's "for their customers only", so you'd need to relocate to the SpaceNet parking garage when the SpaceNet crew has left (no guest parking there, unfortunately). We'll find something. == when? == The hackathon will take place from Nov 15 (Friday), 2013 to Nov 17 (Sunday). The room is ours for the full 3 days, and I (cron2) will be there at Friday 09:30-ish. I have no confirmed arrival dates from anyone else yet... == food == I'll sponsor soft drinks and snacks, and the conference room, and I'll sponsor a "Weisswurstfrühstück" for Saturday. For lunch, there's lots of nice small restaurants in the area, so we'll find something better than in Brussels. Dinner on Friday is international fingerfood at [http://www.cafe-westend.com/ Cafe Westend], nice TexMex food and not too loud (19:00, 8-10 persons, reservation for "Döring") For dinner on Saturday we booked a table at [http://www.augustinerkeller.de Augustinerkeller] for some serious Bavarianism. == what? == So what is the goal of the Hackathon? * meet in person, talk about things * contributors agreement (CLA) for OpenVPN 3 * future development of 2.x and 3.x * GPL violation on multiple apps on the play store * hack on the 2.4 codebase - there's a number of "large" things we could try to tackle * dual-stack patches * openvpn interactive service * work on open trac issues * lots of things to review and bugs to fix I'm all open for additions here - I think the meetings in Brussels have shown that "just being able to sit together and hack" is a useful excercise. Add reasonable food, air condition, etc. and things should be even better. == Internet == of course there will be free WiFi available, and for bandwidth junkies, wired Internet as well :-) - Spacenet is an Internet service provider, and that's one of their core locations, connected with multiple 10Gbit links to the world... == accomodation == * "Motel One Munich City West" has been recommended as "being close, reasonably priced, and generally OK" == results == This is just a sort of unordered list of things we agree on, to avoid thoughts getting lost * push-peer-info of IV_OPENVPN_GUI_VERSION -> go there in the core, gui writers can add --setenv line if they want. Format for the content = "" * GPL violations - "we should go after them, to strengthen the GPL" - but making money out of GPL software means you have to accept that people will use your software without paying for it
